We are proud to announce four-time World Cup winning skier, Lindsey Vonn as our Cybersmiler of the Month Award winner for October. This month’s award goes to Lyndsey in recognition of her powerful body positive messaging in response to ruthless comments made about her body online.

Lindsey, former Olympic Alpine ski racer and first ever U.S. woman to win gold in a Winter Olympic Downhill Ski event, spoke out about how photos of her in swimwear had provoked a tirade of vitriolic body-shaming comments. In response, Lyndsey shared a powerful Instagram post condemning the body-shaming comments on her unfiltered holiday photos.

“I’ve posted quite a few swimsuit pics lately, which is scarier than it seems. Even as an athlete there are ruthless comments and media stories that tear apart my body and I admit it sometimes hurts me. I’m a normal person and sometimes I slouch, my stomach folds over, my cellulite shows on my butt, or I don’t fill out my swimsuit top just right. But, I always remember how my body has helped me achieve amazing things in my life and I am proud of how strong I am.”

Lindsey went on to thank her supporters, encouraging them to continue promoting a body positive culture and also adding a powerful statement regarding her commitment to authenticity and self-worth which has been shared and liked by hundreds of thousands of social media users.

“One thing I can promise all of you is that I never Photoshop my photos and am proud to officially never had any plastic surgery of any kind. No Botox, no fillers, no mini surgeries. Literally nothing. I am 100% natural and 100% Lindsey. So to anyone who is feeling self-conscious or down about their appearance; stay strong, stay healthy and love yourself no matter what the haters say.”
